Charlize Theron thinks it is pretty badass to be in a Ridley Scott Space Movie! PROMETHEUS featurette

Hey folks, Harry here... PROMETHEUS is beginning to hop into the next gear in terms of marketing and we're beginning to see images in these featurettes that we might not want to see. There's a moment with Charlize with a flamethrower in this spot that I wish I could erase from my brain. So tread carefully, if you haven't already been doing so. As for me, I just can't help myself. I have to see this stuff - the foreplay before the release of a film like PROMETHEUS is part of the fun of this kind of film. So - here ya go...

Anyway, back when Craig Kilborn had his CBS late-night show, he supposedly had a male actor on for two segments and they were supposedly talking about women during commercial. Either the actor didn't realize that they were miked and everyone in the control booth could hear him, or he didn't care. The actor asked if Kilborn had ever "had the Theron," meaning Charlize Theron. Kilborn said no. That's when the actor smirked, leaned in and said, "Kilby … you have GOT to try the Theron."
That actor was Vince Vaughn

I think this film has performance anxiety when faced with all the fucking comic book movies so they're blowing their load in the trailers. But they shouldn't because despite being technically an Alien prequel, it looks a lot more original than the fucking comic book movies coming out this summer.

in a very short time. We went from Old Stone Age to New Stone Age in no more than 1000 years. That's from being only as bright as Neanderthals, to the Cave Paintings of Lascaux and Alta Mira, and Chauvet, where 28,000 years ago they worked out the principles of animation.

I wanted that movie to be good. In a way it's as big a disappointment as Phantom Menace. All I wanted was a competent Alien knockoff, but watching it now I just see missed opportunity after missed opportunity.

There is no way Kristen Stewart is the fairest of them all.
Theron looks damn good as the Queen. Enough for me to buy a ticket? The more I think about it, the more I think so.
But I will be rooting for Theron the whole time.

I really, really want to like this movie. A lot of what I see makes it look fantastic...but there's something in the back of my head that keeps telling me I'm going to be disappointed. That ultimately they'll be a lot of great imagery and freakish moments that still add up to a rather blah experience. It comes from moments like in the clips for this featurette where the acting just seems...off for some reason. I do hope I'm wrong.

And she has black hair and black leather in Aeon Flux but she has black hair and is naked in The Devil's Advocate. But she's also all scratched up and bruised. But you're going to see a little of that when you fuck Satan.

Sorry but I liked the ending to BSG and I'm not particularly religious. It's more like God or what ever the higher power was ( they weren't really conclusive aout that " You know he doesn't like that name " ) manipulated it. Since the higher power bit was also part of the original BSG and they were loosely following it that part made sense. Also it's not like you didn't know that there was something else going on from the beginning.

In the trailer, we see pictures from around the world of the same "star map." The archaeologists say that they believe aliens came to Earth and left these clues for us to find them. Well, what if aliens didn't draw those pictures? What if, far from space, they sent messages to Earth (telepathic or radio or other) that were picked up by primitive cultures from around the world, and those humans drew what they saw in their heads, as "messages from God". The space jockeys may have never visited Earth. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they simply find out about Earth in the film from Prometheus being there. They could have sent messages to millions of worlds, preparing the people of those worlds to accept them when they arrived.
Anyway, there is my crazy theory.

spoilers....
....really, it's a big spoiler........
I have footage of Noomi Rapace trying to escape a large, tentacled, VERY Cthulhu-like creature as an engineer/terraformer gets entangled by it. It's *supposedly* the adult version of the spawn which gets surgically removed from Noomi (briefly seen in the second trailer).

I didn't look. I don't want anything to be spoiled for me for this movie. I wish I didn't even know it was an Alien semi-prequel thingy whatever. If the Rotten Tomato scores start rolling in, in the 80 or 90 percents than it"ll be boner-city until 6/8. I think this will be an epic year for movies.

BSG took the easy way out. The "something else" being God all along... give me a break.
The cynicism, the struggle for survival and the recurring idea of hope in the face of fate was the real spirit of the story; to take that away by having God do it was the ultimate cop-out. They (the writers) built it, but they didn't know where to go, the writers gave up.
The ending wasn't known all along, it was not in the series bible (how ironic!). Listen to Moore's podcasts and commentaries; It ended up more as a "fuck you" to their studio system for screwing them over several years, but it became more of a "fuck you" to the fans who expected and were promised answers.
It was a betrayal to the genre they claimed to embrace. It was a betrayal to the fans they claimed wouldn't be let down.
Dues ex machina is not story telling.

It was a reveal in the very first trailer, and clearly Ridley thought better of it, and never used it again. Meredith Vickers is naked on the surface of the planet, calmly watching nanomachines reform her. And another obvious twist, if you know anything about nanotechnology: the little bastard machines rebuild a perfectly good new spaceship, by combing the two wreckages. Violation and transformation are the two important themes in Prometheus.

I think what's happening is that FOX knows there's a built-in, fail-safe audience for Ridley Scott and ALIEN, so they can show whatever they want and it won't matter. Likewise, the more tantalizing, spoilery, canon-like imagery they show, the more die-hard fans want to see it actually play out.
Then there's the Sci-Fi/horror *pocorn* audience, where they're playing the trailers and TV spots like a sizzle reel, since that audience won't be spotting the ALIEN references, so they have to pump it up to all markets.
So, yeah, I think FOX knows they have a big hit on their hands and it's win-win for each side of the draw.

Event Horizon WAS better, until Anderson was forced by Paramount to cut 20 minutes of violent scenes in order to receive an R rating. I think it was Paramount's missed opportunity rather than Anderson's. Not to say that the movie would have been a certain classic or anything, but damn it would have been better.

The creature is a krynoid. And that big head is obviously modelled after Charlize her own bad self just like in the Tom Baker Doctor Who arc "Face of Evil".
David is just a mobile version of Xoanan. And Noomi Rapace is the spittin' image of the young Elisabeth Sladen - DW's Sarah Jane.
Plus I hear that later in the movie the Space Jockey wears a multi-coloured scarf.

Just because Vickers is doing a voiceover during that clip doesn't mean that it's physically Vickers in the clip. It doesn't even mean that the voiceover is part of that scene in the movie itself; it could be taken from a Vickers scene elsewhere. Trailers play this trick all the time.

After a one night stand with Isabel (Salma Hayek, Alex (Matthew Perry) realizes that she is pregnant and they decide to get married. However, along with the marriage comes compromise of one's own cultural traditions.
If that isn't a summary straight out of what we've seen in the trailers, I don't know what is.

Saw this footage, and after I got my head outta the gutter (having seen enough Hentai & tentacles), I remembered reading about some of the old A L I E N concepts from the O' Bannon "Starbeast" days which involved tentacles...
Still don't think this would kill ATMoM...would LOVE to see that, no matter what

spoiler.......
As I mentioned up the TB a bit, I'm pretty sure this is more of a direct reference to Lovecraft and the Cthulhu — as Guillermo del Toro recently spoke to the media about *the ending* of PROMETHEUS. Just as Ridley attracted Giger to ALIEN after seeing his 1977 Necronomicon book, Ridley dipping into Lovecraftian imagery for this would make just as much sense.

I must have missed "something". To me the ending of BSG was about this last generation of human beings making the right decision to ally with the cylons and also to get rid of the technology that broke the time travel cycle and changed the future (no more civil war with the cylons).
Sure, they had the help of the Gods but at the end it was the decision of the humans. Who knows if in the previous time cycles there were also other in-head angels and they still chose to keep the technology when they timed travel back to pre-historic times.
What I hated about the ending is how extremey boring the last episode was. I don't know who directed it or edited it. It did not play with my emotions the way the last episode of a series does.

Let's say it really is a complete knockoff of Mouth of Madness (highly possible with the hacky writers) and Del Torro was rightfully scared off. Wouldn't that be kind of a disappointment? You'd hope this would be a more original story than Alien rehash set up with a spooky more action filled highly Lovecraft influenced third act. Personally, I really hope there's more to this movie than that. At this point, "eeeek, Tentacle God!" sounds more like the Ghostbusters sequel than an Alien prequel. Seriously, Ghostbusters, South Park, and Justice League have mined for gold here. I have trouble accepting that was the big "gotta make this movie now" idea that showed up in the script and got a 200 million budget. But then again, they made John Carter so what do I know?

...spoilers....
...turn back ye lost souls....
The Engineers in PROMETHEUS are the god-like beings who presided over worlds, like Earth, as are the *old ones* in the Cthulhu series. The crew of the PROMETHEUS being completely out of their league in understanding how the Engineers consider humans irrelevant, and the horrors they are dealt in learning this, is also out of Lovecraft. In the end, the Engineers in PROMETHEUS and the *Elders* in AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS are both revealed to have destroyed by their own creations. Yes, there's more.

There isn't the wow and shock factor in that of say... an alien design by a creepy little foreign dude with a disgusting lifecycle nobody had ever thought of before. Engineers as Gods and tentacles things as monsters equals done to death pseudo religeous sci-fi crap only people like fans of the Riddick movies feel is underappreciated. Even more so because the target audience thinks it's a ripoff and it killed the actual big budget version of the source material... assuming the electric alien invasion guy did rip it off in his story.
